中文詞源
hunch 弓身，聳肩，駝背，預(yù)感，直覺詞源不詳，可能來自hump變體。比較bump,bunch.直覺義據(jù)說是來自過去迷信，在賭博前摸一摸駝子的駝背可以帶來好運(yùn)。
英文詞源
- hunch
- originally (c. 1500) a verb, "to push, thrust," of unknown origin. Meaning "raise or bend into a hump" is 1670s. Perhaps a variant of bunch. The noun is attested from 1620s, originally "a push, thrust." Figurative sense of "hint, tip" (a "push" toward a solution or answer), first recorded 1849, led to that of "premonition, presentiment" (1904).
